CrossFitters share a bond that few other stripes of fitness enthusiasts have. The fact that they put themselves through extreme, ruthless workouts for fun proves that they're truly in a league of their own. Not to mention, they are super competitive with themselves and each other. The stakes are pretty high to take part in a sport that crowns its top competitors to be the Fittest in the World. (Of course, some of the most accomplished CrossFitters include Pat Vellner, Chandler Smith, Noah Ohlsen, Tia-Clair Toomey and the recently-retired Mat Fraser.)

Setting new records and goals are all part of being a CrossFitter. And only fellow CrossFitters truly understand each other, which is why the CrossFit community is one of the tightest around. And one way that CrossFitters can relate to each other is through humor. How else can you make light of WODs that make you throw up or leave you on the floor due to exhaustion?

If CrossFit were to be summed up in a few words, you could say it is—a lot of pain, a lot of joy, and a whole lot of yelling from your coach. So finding the perfect GIF or meme to sum up your last workout or scrap with your coach can be the icing on the cake to send to your friend, workout partner, or even that coach that just went through hell with you during a CrossFit session.
